I chose "a work in progress" for the title of this blog because I feel like that's what I am (and essentially what everything in my life is as well). Hopefully I am always getting a little closer to being the person that God created me to be, but I know that His work in me will never be fully finished until He returns and restores everything. Some days that's a very discouraging thought because I'm not a very patient person, and I like to have things right and right now. On the other hand, the fact that God is continually taking the time to work on me (and with me) encourages me and reminds me how much He loves me. It also helps to remind me that everyone else is a work in progress too, and I shouldn't be so judgmental.
On a lesser level, the things in my life are also works in progress. My house is in a perpetual state of "it's getting there" and I'm quite certain that it will never actually get to where I want it to be. But that's okay. My relationships with my kids and my husband and the ups and downs we have throughout the day are definitely full of kinks that need working out, but I do feel like we're making forward progress. I love to scrapbook and make cards and play around with paper, so of course there are always things being worked on there.
"A work in progress" pretty much sums up my life and how I see things at the moment. And I'm okay with that. I would hate to be finished and know that I'm never going to learn anything new or experience something else that will change me. I'm excited to see what God has in store for me and my family because I know that He has greats works in the making.
